In this math course, we will be continuing with your knowledge from mathematics 404 (CST or TS). The following subjects will be covered over the duration of this school year in the terms indicated:

Term 1 . Linear Relations, Inequalities, and Functions (September- November) : Linear Relations, Inequalities, Shading on the Half Plane, Different types of functions and how to manipulate them, Domain and Range

Term 2. Triangles and Congruent/Similar Figures (November- January): right triangles, trigonometry, congruent and similar figures, metric relations

Term 3. Statistics and Probability and Exam Review (January to May): Probability of Random Experiments, events, odds, factorial, statistics and correlations; and full-year review module to prepare you for the final exam.

In July, 2011, The Ministry of Education, Sport and Leisure (MELS) introduced new Frameworks of Learning for the Math CST course. They are listed below. As well, the final exam will be weighted, as will the terms. The final exam is now a uniform exam (mandatorily included in the final grade).

You will be evaluated on the following two criteria in this course in each term

·         Solves a Situational Problem- 30%

·         Uses Mathematical Reasoning- 70%

Course and Term Weightings are as follows

	Term One	Term Two	Term Three
Competency 1 Solves a Situational Problem	6%	6%	18%
Competency 2 Uses Mathematical Reasoning	14%	14%	42%
Total	20%	20%	60%

Assessment Types:    May include the following:  announced quizzes, surprise quizzes, tests, exams, and projects.  On a daily basis, students should prepare as if they expect a surprise quiz over either the material just covered or the next lesson before it is covered in class.  Online tests and quizzes may be offered for you may take on a school computer or elsewhere.

Grading Scale and Policy:

Points shall be awarded for homework, cooperative leaning (group work), quizzes, tests, exams, and participation.  Points earned shall be divided by points possible and then multiplied by 100 for each grading period. 

Materials:  notebook, folder, graph paper, small 1-subject notebook, calculator (CASIO or SHARP). You will need your text and notebook every day.

Classroom Procedures:

I have very few explicit rules in my class, except to say that we all must respect one another. My foremost request is that you do not talk while I am speaking, If you have questions, please wait till I am done speaking. It is terribly rude and makes the class long and difficult if I have to stop and ask everyone to be quiet all the time.

I do permit you to bring water to drink, but no Food or any other liquids in the classroom.

Your responsibilities include brining notebook and pencil to class, and your memory aid cards (Index cards). Far too many students have terrible binders, poor-taking and no memory aid. I will help you pass this course using strict strategies for your own personal organization.

As well, you must hand in all assignments on time.

MAKE-UP WORK:  It is the responsibility of the student to manage his or her make-up work.  You must get the assignments, take the make-up tests etc.  Do not expect your teachers to automatically inform you and schedule your make-up work.  You will be expected to use the course website and other tools to avoid falling behind.
